Formatting floats
#6
BAD:
print(end='In 1 year, the tuition will be $' + str(totalOnePrice) + '.\n')

BETTER:
print(end='In 1 year, the tuition will be $' + '{:.12f}'.format(totalOnePrice) + '.\n')

but using end=<str> in such a way is, imho, a very bad practice.

PS. Using floats when dealing with money is not usually a good idea. Work in cents or use the decimal package.
I am trying to help you, really, even if it doesn't always seem that way
